Yes calendar integration will be included in the next release - we're going to start with Google Calendar but will add more of the most popular calendar services as we go.
I'm not 100% familiar with caldav but will look into it!
In terms of voice as a feature vs. platform - I think right now it appears to many to be a feature, because the quality and capability of voice apps is just not that great. Most voice apps offer a sub-set of the functionality available on mobile or web, so from a phycological point of view when you use one it feels like just a small (and often not as good) feature of the main product. However as the accuracy of the underlying speech to text and natural language understanding of these platforms gets better, and as the capability of voice apps gets better, we see voice becoming a much more easy and natural way for people to access their favourite products, services, and content.
Whenever you want something, you'll just ask your assistant, and because you may be using multiple platforms, we think Life Bot will be the best way to do this that maintains the context of what you like / don't like.
Definitely still early days though - but that's the vision!
